In the multiverse of fraud, another celebrity whose identity has been stolen is HSIEH,CHIN-HE, Chairman of Caixun Media. In the past two years, he has been hacked into several LINE accounts by unscrupulous individuals. Whether it's his daughter or the unseen Taiping Village Chief of Alishan, he has received invitations from friends of "Fake HSIEH,CHIN-HE", which has made Zhen HSIEH,CHIN-HE angry and helpless. He repeatedly emphasized, "I have never acted as a customer in my life, opened a stock friend club, or worked as an investment advisor!" During this period, he not only filed with the police station, but also had a celebrity effect. He even had positive communication with the police chief, criminal chief, interior minister
LIN,YU-CHANG, LINE Taiwan chairman and CEO CHEN,LI-JEN, and Facebook general manager. However, to this day, the "account theft" issue remains unresolved.
The scam group has scammed my daughter's side, it's called 'all holes in the world'! "HSIEH,CHIN-HE mentioned that even with the certified 'Blue GouGou Gou', several LINE and FB accounts have been stolen in the past two years. More than a year ago, HSIEH,CHIN-HE began setting scam screenshots as top posts, emphasizing that he had never helped anyone operate on behalf of others, had no stock friend society, or had any investment advisors, all of which were fake.
HSIEH,CHIN-HE mentioned that the year before last, he went to Meishan Township in Jiayi to climb mountains. Coincidentally, his college classmates met the mayor of Meishan Township and mentioned that he really liked the Taiping Tea Garden in Meishan Township. He proposed to add LINE to the Taiping Village head for easy contact, but unexpectedly, the Taiping Village head said, "No need to add it. We added it more than a year ago!" HSIEH,CHIN-HE was surprised and said, "I didn't know each other at that time. How could I have my LINE?" When he confirmed the village head's phone, he realized that it was a fake account and a stock friend club, Fortunately, the village head was not deceived. Another example is a Taichung person who brought a bag of eggs north to visit HSIEH,CHIN-HE's office. Originally, the other party had planned to meet with "Fake HSIEH,CHIN-HE", but accidentally found the real office. After comparing their LINE account, they realized they had been deceived.
On the day of the interview with ETtoday, HSIEH,CHIN-HE said, "Today, there was also a public who mentioned that he would pay money. He didn't know that he was cheated until he heard the truth about HSIEH,CHIN-HE's Facebook. Later, he went to the police station to report the case." In the face of this repeated situation, HSIEH,CHIN-HE was very troubled. He could only appeal to the public to invest. These are false information, so don't send money.
In addition to negative appeals, HSIEH,CHIN-HE has actively reported the case to the police station, alerting the director of the police station and the director of the criminal police to be concerned. At the same time, he took the initiative to visit Facebook's general manager and LINE's Taiwan chairman and CEO, CHEN,LI-JEN, hoping to work together to resolve the issue. "Facebook is quite superficial, and any response is ignored. LINE CHEN,LI-JEN designated a secretary to liaise with Secretary HSIEH,CHIN-HE, and immediately took action after all reports were directly reported. The method of handling individual cases was initially effective for a period of time, but now it seems to have become ineffective again! "HSIEH,CHIN-HE said. After practical understanding, it was found that many accounts would switch to other people's identities, such as well-known foreign analyst Yang Yingchao, and then engage in fraud.
HSIEH,CHIN-HE returns to the investigation, and this is a problem with the entire management mechanism of the Taiwan government. First of all, the government has no jurisdiction over Facebook and LINE. Many people are deceived into reporting to the police. The police have no choice, because what they find on Facebook and LINE is that "multinational companies" cannot be checked. He criticized that "the government is sitting idly by!" Whether it is the Ministry of Digital Development, NCC, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of the Interior, or even the higher-level Executive Yuan, there is a lack of appropriate countermeasures. He believes that the government has no jurisdiction and is self defeating. This is called an unequal treaty. In this way, it is too easy for those who want to subvert the government through this platform, Recently, I couldn't bear it anymore. I wrote an article stating that identifying fraud as rampant is also a breeding ground for cognitive warfare. In other words, ordinary people in this society don't know which information is true or which is fake. This phenomenon has actually reached a very widespread stage
HSIEH,CHIN-HE proposed two major suggestions: first, the government must show courage. If the government doesn't care, what else can the general public do? The people are not the enforcement units of public power, and if the government doesn't care, it is arbitrary fraud and rampant. Second, there should be a real name system for Facebook to send documents, and the same is true for LINE. Why people can apply for LINE under someone else's name should adopt a real name system, otherwise, "you use my photo and my name to send documents, which is against personal privacy, so is the right of portrait". The government has no jurisdiction, and HSIEH,CHIN-HE thinks it is inconceivable.
Finally, he suggested that the government should take action and impose heavy penalties on social media platforms such as FB and LINE. For example, if someone reports fraudulent advertisements on Facebook, as long as it is verified to be fraudulent or deceptive, a fine of 5 million yuan will be imposed. If they do not listen again for the second time, a fine of 50 million yuan will not matter. The punishment should be severe until they are afraid. The government should impose heavy penalties on the source of the advertisement, This door is opened by you (the platform), so you allow fraud to run rampant, and of course you are jointly and severally liable! It is the crime of fraud! The fraud group using your platform to deceive others' money is fraud, and fraud cannot be ignored! This is jointly and severally liable. "HSIEH,CHIN-HE said for almost two years, but did not find an effective solution to the problem. He believed that the government should brainstorm and take effective measures together, Don't let anyone die one day, so that everyone can reflect on this issue and review it! "He said with great sincerity.
The Criminal Bureau provides data on online fraud reports in the past five years, which has been growing year by year. In 2022, the number of victims reached over 13000, and the amount of financial losses was nearly 2.1 billion yuan. On March 9th, the Financial Supervisory Commission invited various units and online community platform operators such as Google and Facebook to hold a cross departmental meeting to discuss how to intercept investment fraud advertisements from the first level. According to attendees, both major platform operators have agreed to cooperate and will initiate a delisting mechanism as soon as they receive notification from relevant government departments confirming fraudulent advertisements. Taking Facebook as an example, advertisements will be removed within 8 to 24 hours.
The communication software LINE has become the target of fraudulent groups due to its high privacy and the freedom to form groups. LINE stated that it has been closely communicating with government units and actively cooperating in recent times, such as actively detecting and cleaning up accounts that may violate LINE service terms, and accelerating the disposal of high-risk accounts. If the account is counterfeited or suspicious groups or communities are found, as long as they are reported through customer service channels and verified by LINE, they will be immediately dealt with. In addition, LINE pointed out that it is expected to have a cross platform industry joint defense information sharing mechanism, allowing relevant businesses to work together to fight fraud.
Wang, Po-Chi, an associate professor at the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University, believes that communication software platforms such as LINE and Google are willing to cooperate in fraud, but only after users or users report it will they passively remove risky accounts and cooperate in handling them. If the platform can take corporate responsibility and turn passivity into initiative, it is believed that better results can be achieved.
On the morning of April 10th, the Minister of the Interior, LIN,YU-CHANG, visited the Legislative Yuan for questioning and stated that the cross departmental meeting will discuss and promote the "Fraud Program 1.5", which includes publishing real name advertisements for investments and job applications, as well as proposing a draft amendment to increase the penalties for fraud masterminds, collaborative crimes, and (bank) account providers. Fraud will no longer be a minor offense.
